# 小透明 vs Simple

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 小透明 at 100% against Simple's 56%. Simple's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 小透明 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Simple sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simple holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 小透明's written reviews are positive against 56% of Simple's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

小透明 ships an update every 6 weeks, Simple every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
